Re: Small Copper
Hi Chocky,
You have a freshly emerged third brood female on the left, and a quite worn and faded male on the right, perhaps hanging on from the end of the second brood. Alternatively he could have chosen the wrong place to roost in the recent rains and also still be relatively newly emerged!
Cheers
Lee
